We identify phosphoproteins that are associated to the infected erythrocyte membrane of Plasmodium chabaudi. The specific antibodies that recognize the erythrocyte membrane-associated antigens, namely PcEMA1 and PcLEMA, are studied. According to sequencing analysis, neither the gene structure nor th...
